[quote user="Tim Allman"] When I started playing competitive hockey, (1979/80 season), we all played 2-3-5. It was the only thing we knew.   [/quote]   Interestingly enough after dropping that system for years; each English international team (men/women and various age groups) have all been made to revert back to that way of playing. Its a good system provided you have a good enough centre-half and left and right inners!! 

[quote user="Soldier on"]to say thanks for your support because of that I will donate the full amount anyway??!![/quote]   Great thread!!!

Well I hope that you tight-fisted rebate claimers are proud of yourselves. No doubt you will be the first to complain when we cannot afford certain targets. Disgraceful. [/quote] ^^^^ THIS MAN HAS NOT EVEN GOT A SEASON TICKET ^^^^^ [/quote] Really? [/quote] In that case, as he feels so strongly, I assume he''ll be sending the club a cheque for £70... [/quote] lol don''t hold your breath mate [:D] [/quote]   Actually sod it. I will send a cheque. C/O Foulger I assume?

[quote user="IncH_HigH"]Hooray, here we go.  This is exactly the aim of the rebate excercise, put the fans against each other and deflect the problem away from our disasterous board.  Congratulations seat whatever it is, you fell for it hook line and sinker. Since when did any teams player budget become the responsibility of the fans? You see they have shifted the blame nicely away from themselves and onto season ticket holders and Mr Foulger comes out looking like a local hero. Now say everybody left their rebate with the club and Mr Foulger matched it(which I always doubted) then why is he not just putting that in anyway and showing he deserves his place on the board? I''ll tell you why, because he never intended matching all of it in the first place, it''s just another massive piece of bull turd from our delightful board of directors. [/quote]   I agree with the first two paragraphs; spot on.

[/quote] To say that people are disgraceful for not returning their rebates is itself disgraceful, to assume that I attended the same Uni as you is just plain ignorant. It is you that is talking sh*t. Now f*ck off.   [/quote]   Debasing yourself via swearing??

Nope. An 8 hour commute is a tad too much for me now. Plus I am rich too and not feeling the recession.

[quote user="Cluck is God"] Why the hell do you want someone else''s name on your shirt? Do you put someone else''s number on your house?  Do you use someone else''s name when you book a holiday? Do you give someone else''s phone number when you want them to call back? Get a grip man for heavens'' sake.....   [/quote]   I like it. Don''t be mean to me.  

Not a bad idea! I do like Cody!! Butterworth and Culverhouse were definate no no''s as a poor teenager! :)

You going to the Rovers game in May? I live in Bristol so am gonna be making an appearance over the bank hol weekend.

Every few seasons I like to get a new top, and part of the fun is deciding which player''s name to get on the back. I like to spend a few hours thinking about our stars, who I like the most and why. Previous shirts have had; Robins/Eadie/Mulryne/MacVeigh and Huckerby. I wanted to buy a new shirt last season, but I just couldnt bring myself to idolise anyone in that team. They were either awful, on loan or not a player who I wanted on my shirt (ie Drury) so I didnt get one. I want to buy a shirt this season and am worried that yet again I won''t be able to admire anyone enough to get their names on the shirt. I don''t personally like silly names or my own name on the shirt so it needs to be a player. Do you think we will sign anyone exciting enough to warrant their names on supporters shirts? Gill/Tudor-Jones and Nelson havent done it for me yet... Who would you get if you had to choose?

[quote user="claud"][quote user="The Undertaker"] I like the idea of season boxsets! Apologies, my memory must be a little blurred as they didn''t really mention cost specifically. This is the email repsonse I had from the club in February - Hello Craig   Thank you for your email and yes, it''s something we do have in mind.   I''ve forwarded this on to our retail buyer, Lisa Stewart, who is going to make further investigations. One of the biggest stumbling blocks for us is having to order quite high minimum quantities e.g. 500. This would be a considerable commitment for us, if we can negotiate smaller quantities the decision will be a lot easier.   So in short, I will leave this with Lisa and let you know of any progress.   With best wishes   OTBC       Will [/quote] I''m guessing that it must have been Lisa''s day off when the ok was given for half the cra, er, rubbish that they sell in the club shop. [/quote]   LMFAO!!

Great idea, you can get them converted yourself though. I''ve been making it my mission to get each season review video of the seasons I have supported the club. I currently own; Centenary Vid Golden Goals Collection 92/93; 93/94, 94/95, 95/96, 96/97, 97/98, 98/99, 99/00, 00/01, 01/02, 02/03, 04/05 So still hunting for; 03/04, 05/06, 06/07, 07/08 and last season.

Cough it up you dirty ba*tard!! Chubbs.....You took his arm!!!

[quote user="TIL 1010"]Got the same letter a couple of days back and shall be cutting mine up and looking elsewhere.It was not the most competitive card available anyway and it was the novelty of the Club badge on it that made me get one in the first place.[/quote]   Ditto!!!

I will. Went to the pre-season too when we lost a few years back.

[quote user="Andy Larkin"][quote user="Shack Attack"]Dear Tara Greaves/Mastermind It is Internazionale or Inter. There is no such team as Inter Milan. Don''t even get me started on ''Bayern Munich''.

[quote user="PurpleCanary"]And they play at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium! Hasn''t been called the San Siro for years but you wouldn''t know that from the English press. I confess to a sort-of nine but only because, looking at the questions in the EDP, I made the connection with the Cornish-sounding name and guessed that answer. In the chair, under the lights, it would have been only eight. But good to see a mention of Gordon Bolland. A  favourite player.[/quote]   I thought AC termed the stadium San Siro, and Inter termed it Guiseppe Meazza? At least thats what my tour guide said when she showed me around there last Easter!!!

Scored 2 so far vs Italy!!! Shame he couldn''t do that against pi**ing Championship sides with more frequency!

Semi at RM?
